3. Do I have to worry about copyright and privacy issues?Video filming and usage questions fit under the official Photography Policy, which provides guidelines for capturing images, permission, privacy, usage and archiving. You should also be familiar with the UNB Copyright Policies.

4. Is it okay to videotape a guest lecturer? Yes, however, you must have the guest lecturer sign a Release Form. It is also good practice to inform your students when you plan to film a class. You may want to consider posting a note, similar to the following, on your Desire2Learn course or your syllabus, etc.

Sample:The next two classes will be video-recorded and posted to a secure link on Desire2Learn for students who wish to review material again after class and to accommodate those with Accessibility concerns. These will generally be available within 24 hours after lecture and your instructor will provide a link for you to access them via Desire2Learn. Since the lectures are recorded for you, we ask that you do not make additional recordings of any kind unless you have the specific permission of the instructor. These LectureCasts will focus primarily on the instruction and presentation screen and will only be available to your fellow classmates. However, should you have any concerns about the recording of lectures, please do not hesitate to speak to your instructor.
